True, I totally forgot about Terry (519-294-0648) [my favourite dealer] &
Larry (especially shameful as I bought a computer from each of them, and
have bought thousands of dollars worth of equipment from Terry (even now
that I'm in Toronto)).

But, it never hurts to know what computers cost further away. It gives you a
better footing on which to bargain locally (there's no reason local
computers should cost you more than what you could order them for). As for
Mostly Mac... I've never found them to be competitive on computers (but,
they will bargain. I bought my USB LaCie burner from them and bartered them
down $20 because MacWarehouse was selling the burner for $20 less than their
list price). Invariably I've found used computers to be cheaper elsewhere,
usually from Terry or Larry. Of course, the problem with going local is
choice. Often no one around London actually had the CPU I needed (e.g. I had
to go to e-bay for my 7500/100).

Mac Outpost? Is that Larry's co.. nowadays?
